Transfer your operating system from a WD 1TB HDD to a 60GB M.2 SSD.
Transfer your operating system from a WD 1TB HDD to a 60GB M.2 SSD.
You’re asking if you made a mistake, but the system says you can’t move because the destination disk is too small. Since your OS takes up about 360GB, you’ll need to create a separate partition and then transfer it to the SSD. It might be costly, but it’s the only way forward.
Windows won't fit on a 60GB drive for very long. There's a lot more to it than what is in the Windows directory. Even if you install everything onto another drive, data from each program will still be stored on the boot drive. See if you can return it and buy a SATA one . They're pretty much identical in performance for a boot drive.
Opt for a new setup and then reinstall everything. Even though 60gb storage is risky, you'll eventually upgrade with updates and installed apps. This can lead to update problems because of low space, which may also slow down your system. For the operating system, I'd suggest at least 120gb.
You'd require a fresh empty HDD with ample room to initially copy or move the operating system to another storage device. However, it's still not advised to opt for a smaller drive. A 60GB capacity isn't suitable for everyday OS storage either. Achieving this setup demands several clever solutions to direct everything properly onto the HDD.
